- Assess your lifestyle and foot traffic
Consider your lifestyle and the amount of foot traffic your home experiences. For busy households, opt for harder species like oak or maple that are resistant to scratches and wear. Softer species like cherry or walnut are suitable for low-traffic areas.
- Consider different wood species
Choose a wood species that matches your aesthetic preferences. Oak offers classic appeal and durability, while cherry provides a rich, warm hue.
- Decide between solid and engineered hardwood floors
Solid hardwood flooring offers timeless beauty and can be sanded and refinished multiple times. Engineered hardwood is more resistant to moisture and temperature changes, making it suitable for areas with fluctuating humidity levels.
- Choose the right finish
Consider the finish of your hardwood flooring for both appearance and protection against wear. Options include oil-based polyurethane, water-based polyurethane, and penetrating oil finishes.
- Match your home's style
Harmonize your hardwood floors with your home's interior style. Wide-plank flooring with natural distressing creates a traditional or rustic look. Sleek, narrow planks in lighter shades contribute to a contemporary or modern aesthetic.
